Our youngest son is Terry Duane Cloud and wife Cindy of Owasso, Oklahoma and Cindy’s two sons, Spencer Allen and his wife Kristi of Sapulpa, Oklahoma and Zachery Allen of Owasso, and Terry has two children, Amber Sunshine Cloud and Joshua Duane Cloud and Amber’s daughter Kiayah age 4 from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Military Corner
We have suffered the first loss of a Bonnell or Bunnell in the Iraqi war; Marine Sgt Jon Edward Bonnell died 6 August 2007 when he stepped on an improvised explosive device while patrolling on foot, looking for roadside bombs in Al Anbar Province.
Through Rootsweb and additional web-searching by Steve Bonnell in PA, I’m able to pass on to you the obituary below. Steve has built a web page for Jon Bonnell at sgtjonbonnell/. Claude was able to connect Jon’s line back to William Bunnell. See below for the lineage.
Steve suggested and I agreed that, though the newsletter can not send flowers for every passing, it is appropriate to send an arrangement for Jon. Steve and I agree that it is important to support our troops and their families. Therefore using your subscription money we sent a floral arrangement to his services from the Bonnell and Bunnell Families of America. E-mail feedback from you confirmed that we made the right decision. We received a nice Thank You note from Jon’s family. Claude wrote that Jon’s “great grandfather was 350316 John Bonnell in the database. Grandfather Edward W Bonnell is member # 036925 in database. I have assigned Member # 362096 to him. Father will be member # 371339 and Jon jr will be 380491.”

Queries
Jaynie Bonnell Connor, JandK75@, writes:
“Hello I am a Bonnell and I'm trying to find out when and why Charles Edward Bonnell came to Washington State. He was the first son of Cornelius M (Maffat or Matthew ) have seen it both ways . I don't have any living elders left and a cousin got everything out of my grandmothers, who has not responded to any requests. Charles died here in Vancouver Washington and buried at Park Hill cemetery he died 1936 was born 1860. Married to Isabelle A Adair b.1865 d. 1943.”
I responded with the following:
“If you go to Claude Bunnell’s website, and click on By Member Number, then in the box that shows up enter the number 341956 and hit search, Charles Edward Bonnell will show up.
The questions you ask though are interesting ones – especially the “why” of his move to Washington State. Using census data we can narrow the “when” down to a 30 year span: 1870 to 1900. It’s interesting, though not necessarily relevant, that about the same time frame his dad moved from WI to NY. Also, looking at the 1900 census, Charles reports himself as a widow. So it would appear that he married (likely in Wisconsin). Perhaps the death of the first wife prodded him to move. There also appeared to be a lot of migration into Washington State during that period.
Digging a little, I was trying to find Charles in the 1880 census but have not been able to do so. Interestingly, his brother Mathew, 17, is working as a farm laborer with a Sherburne family. So he left home at a young age.
I did find this little tidbit of info, though at this point there’s nothing to indicate that this is your Charles. I cannot find Tellitha Louk in earlier census nor can I find Tellitha Bonnell in later census. So I don’t know where she came from or went to. I’d hang on to this though as you never know.
Sacramento California, Sacramento Bee Newspaper 1891: vital records
Name: Tellitha Louk
Event: M (Married)
Event Date: 23 Oct 1891
Published Date: 23 Oct 1891
Husband: Bonnell, Charles E.”
If anyone has any further info on Charles Edward Bonnell you can e-mail Jaynie or write to me and I’ll share it with Jaynie. Also, if anyone has info on the Charles and Tellitha marriage, I’d appreciate hearing from you.

My grandfather\'s name was Raymond K. Bunnell and he lived in Northeastern Kansas. My father William Joseph Bunnell and I are the last known Bunnell\'s from my grandfather. Is there anyone out there that could be related to my grandfather?
I wrote back
When I go to Claude Bunnell's data base ()and enter your grandfather's name, I find that your father is the only son we're aware of for Raymond. Raymond however did have a brother, William Dietrich Bunnell. William married in 1937. We aren't aware of any children they had, but that doesn't mean he didn't have any. Only that we don't have the data. I'll also see if any of our readers know anything about William and Bertha.
If anyone has any info either write me or e-mail William and me.

Have been able to find some info on him, will and where buried but nothing on his travels or anything on Mary. Thought maybe some of George and Sallies children may have some genealogy files and be able to assist in my search.
Sallie is my 3rd great grandaunt. Have been looking for info on John for several years.
Any help would be appreciated., Thanks
When I go to Claude’s database I find that George (320306) had several children so there’s a good chance that there is a Bunnell out there who has some info. If you do, please contact Jack

Research Findings
From a couple of similar sources we have perhaps added to our body of knowledge just a bit about Elias Bonnell and family. Elias is 004086 in Claude’s database. He is a descendent of Jean Bonel of France whose son Daniel emigrated to SC about 1690. Elias’ lineage is: Jean1, Daniel2, John3, Elias4.
From “The Natchez Court Records, 1767 – 1805, Abstracts of Early Records” Compiled by May Wilson McBee, published by the Clearfield Company. Beside the citations below, Elias and wife Drusilla are mentioned on three other pages but there is no additional information not contained below. The first page number is the page in the cited book. The second page number is the page in the indicated court book.
Pg. iii
The Natchez District consisted of territory that now forms five Mississippi counties, Wilkinson, Adams, Jefferson, Clairborne and Warren, as well as Franklin and part of Amite, which were taken from Adams and Wilkinson in 1809. However, only the western fringes of the last two counties were settled before the American occupation.

But, the definition of the ages is not provided. For Elias, under male, column two is the number 1. Under female, column one is the number 1, under column two is the number 1.

[Ed. Note: I cannot find Charles in Claude’s data base, nor the Census records for 1910 or 1920. I found Ada in the 1910 census, though the index lists it as Ada Bett with Belt being an alternative. Looking at the original record I see Belt. Ada is the 19 year old daughter of the widow Mary Belt. Ada was born in MA, her mother in ME and her father in NH.

I spent a considerable amount of effort trying to sort out the John Bunnells of VA/WV mentioned in several sources. The endeavor started due to an accidental discovery of the marriage record below of John Bunnell and Hannah Smith. Additionally, we’ve not really pinned down the John Bunnell who settled Pennsboro, WV. So here’s what I dug up and what my tentative conclusions are. I am accepting responses and inputs.
The West Virginia historical marker for Pennsboro, WV states that it was “settled by John Bunnell, a veteran of the Revolution. …”

[Ed. Note: This appears to be the same John Bunnell through there is some inconsistency regarding where John served: NY or VA. The pension start dates indicate that they are likely the same person. We now have his wife’s name. The children’s ages in the 2nd reference, if I’m reading it correctly, don’t make sense in view of Hannah’s age; she would have had Margaret at 67 years of age. Claude’s database has a John Bunnell, 001540, who was born about 1780, too late to be a Revolutionary War veteran, but he was a veteran of the War of 1812. That is a different John Bunnell than discussed above.]

KINCAID, JAMES.--Lafayette County, Mo., Nov. 5, 1833. Entered service while living at Castlewood on Clinch, 25 miles from Abingdon. The settlers in Powell's Valley had been driven out by Indians, and many of them hid their "plunder," not being able to bring it to a place of safety. Capt. John Duncan and company were ordered out to guard the people so that they might bring their goods into the settlements. Applicant was one year with him. Capt. Joseph Martin was at this time stationed at Rye Cave on Clinch to guard the frontier. The brothers, John and James, Bunnil (?) were scouts under him. We met these spies and went with them to Martin's Station in said valley, but all had fled. One refugee, Capt. (Robert?) Davis met us. He had lived at Owen's Station, ten miles below Martin's. Duncan sent five men to go with him to Owen's to collect his "plunder." On the way back Indians in ambush fired on them, killing Bowman and wouning James Bunnill and ---- Johnson. Bunnill, Davis, and another man got in that night. Next day Duncan went down with all his force, including affiant, save a few left to guard the wounded. Davis took us to where an Indian stood that he shot at. We found a good deal of blood and followed the trail, but after a while it seemed that the party scattered. We buried Bowman and returned to Owen's. Bunnill grew very sick and we took him to Ryc Cave. All were dismissed in about a month. The above took place 1776 (?) in summer time.
[Ed. Note: I don’t know if this is the same John Bunnell in the preceding discussion or not. Being as this one was a scout, I doubt if he is the same one.]

Kentucky Connections
Gayle Bonnell, gbonnel@ or 1582 Huntington, Castle Rock, WA 98611, is part of the Kentucky crowd that is searching for their connection to William the immigrant. He has sent some fascinating material that I wish I could run word for word from the newspapers, but it would take several pages. So here is my abridged version, using the original wording as much as possible, complete with photos provide by Gayle.
The Weekly Times, Georgetown, Ky, June 22d, 1881
FAIRLY RIDDLED WITH BULLETS
A Young Husband Shoots Down His Brother-In-Law at the Plow
On Wednesday evening last Mack Salyers shot to death John Bonnell, his brother-in-law. … A younger brother of Bonnell was the only person who witnessed the shooting.
Some four years ago, Mr. John Salyers, a widower with five or six children, married Mrs. Henrietta Bonnell, a widow with four children. In October last, Mr. Mack Salyers, who is a son of John, married Miss Annie, daughter of Mrs. Bonnell. The two families lived together on the Bonnell farm, about two and a half miles south of town, near the Lexington Pike, where the tragedy occurred. Mack Salyers is about 25 years of age … John Bonnell was in the 21st year of his age.
At the Coroner’s investigation, Willie Bonnell, aged 17 years, a brother of the deceased, testified as follows: “We were all at the dinner table eating; I was going on with my foolishness and John was laughing at me. Annie asked John what he wanted to laugh at me for, and then they commenced fussing and both got mad. Annie threw up to John about having been in the House of Refuge; they kept on fussing, when John slapped Annie, and Annie commenced crying, both were then crying. Annie told John she would throw it up to him about being in the House of Refuge every time she saw him. She said he once took five dollars of mother’s from a drawer. Then John and I went to plowing …
Mack came from Lexington, stayed around the house a little while and came out to the field about 2 o’clock; he walked up pretty close to me and asked how I was getting on plowing. I told him very well, then he walked up towards John pretty close, pulled out his pistol and cocked it. I heard no words between them, Mac got back, cocked his pistol and shot at John once; John ran among the horses, and fell against one of them; he must have been shot then; Mack then ran around the horses and shot once or twice more and John dropped right by the horses fore feet. He shot four or five times I think after John was down.”
[Mack’s younger brother, Sam, related a slightly different version of what had taken place prior to the shooting] “I was lying up in my room at dinner time… at the table Annie corrected Willie about something saying, ‘John, if I were you I would not encourage Willie in his meanness.’ John told her to keep her mouth shut, that she was no better than a d____d Albino; he also said she was no better than a negro wench, and if she didn’t hush he would slap her, and finally slapped her two or three times … John told Annie to get her husband or anybody else to fight it out for her … When Mack came home from Lexington Annie had been crying … he couldn’t get anything out of her, and he came upstairs and I told him. … He then went down into Annie’s room, and onto the porch. Thinking he was going out in the field, I got up and went to follow him, when I got out of the gate, Mack said, ‘John, what did you slap my wife for?’; John said, ‘By G_d because I wanted to.’ Mack said, ‘You’ll slap my wife and kill me too, will you?’ and John said, ‘Yes, I will.’ And Mack then shot.”
THE WEEKLY TIMES
Georgetown, Ky., Feb. 1, 1882.
LOCAL MATTERS
MACK SALYERS PARDONED.—Mr. Mack Salyers, who had been in jail at this place since June last, charged with the murder of John Bonnell, his brother-in-law, was released on Wednesday night last, having been pardoned by the Governor. As the news spread through town the Governor was very generally and severely condemned, and it was even suggested by some of the rasher ones to hang the Governor in effigy. Others wanted an indignation meeting called, while others, in whose eyes the extraordinary act of clemency on the part of the Governor found no favor, were opposed to any public action in the matters.”
[Ed. Note: Reading the full length articles is fascinating and one might be left with the feeling that young Sam Salyers nearly goaded Mack into the shooting. Neither John nor Willie Bonnell are currently in Claude’s database, but probably will be by the next issue. George W. Bonnell is 011117 in Claude’s database.
Research Tips
Steven L Bonnell [slbnl@] or 1523 Good Shepherd Road, Montoursville, PA 17754, sent us a tip about an on-line resource that has copies (PDF files) of historical/gov't records/documents. It is Google Book Search which can be reached at: . They describe the site as follows: “Search the full text of books to find ones that interest you and learn where to buy or borrow them.”

If you’re researching in Iowa, don’t overlook the state census records, also available on-line from . Included are census data for 1856, 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915, and 1925. It also includes some head of household censuses and other special censuses from 1836-1897. These should also be available at genealogy libraries and perhaps at LDS Genealogy Centers. The 1925 census is extremely helpful as it includes the names of the person's parents (including mother's maiden name), age, and place where they married. Military service, religious preference, and rent are also included. An on-line search for 1925 showed 53 Bonnells, 107 Bunnells, and 87 Burnells. I did not try possible variations of different numbers of n’s and l’s. Here’s an example of a family I was unable to locate in Claude’s database:
Renwick, Humboldt Co., Iowa.
Harry E. Bonnell, Head. b. abt. 1889 in Rolb, IA; mother: Bertha L. Shannon, b. IA; father: Chas. M. Bonnell, b. IN
m. in IA
Mary Ahrenkiel, wife. b. abt. 1893, Gadell, IA; mother: Metta Hansen, b. abt 1867, Denmark; father: George Ahrenkiel, b. abt 1862, Denmark
Donniel L. Bonnell, son, b. abt 1917, Rennick, IA. [The city is difficult to read; probably Renwick]
Alan G. Bonnell, son, b. abt 1919, Rennick, IA. [The city is difficult to read; probably Renwick]

Perhaps this should be under an “Education” section, but cousin Cecil Bunnell, Cecil_Anna@ or 1843 State Route 34, Genoa, NY 13071 recently brought to my attention that BYU offers talks and lectures about genealogical research on their cable station. However, it is only carried, as far as we know, on Direct TV and Dish Network.
DNA & Genealogy
Steve Bonnell, our DNA guru says that he would “like to make a special request to any MALE BONNELL from this line, John Bonnell, Revolutionary Soldier, b.1757 d.1845 in Erie, PA, to consider a DNA Test. public/BNL_dna
~~~~~~~
Steve also recently responded to an e-mail from a subscriber who felt that DNA testing had disproved a large segment of the family. Here was the concern:
Hi Steven, Just wanted to say how disappointed I was when I looked at Claude's database and found the DNA project had eliminated our side from the ancestral line through Both John (1788-1872) and Henry(B 1796) sons of David(1762-1838). We have no direct male decedents on our side so have to go with other findings.
Steve provided an excellent cautionary response that I think is well worth sharing.
I'm sorry for the disappointment. I can't say I know exactly how you feel, but my DNA doesn't match anyone who's been tested either... and not just in the Bonnell family group!
I went to Claude's site and found what I think you are talking about:
"... DNA TESTING OF 361601 PAUL BUNNELL INDICATES 290008 BENJ
WAS NOT A SON OF 280017 SAMUEL ..."
Here's my opinion on the present situation...
1. The disconnected branches only have ONE DNA test result within their branch.
2. So, the ONLY safe conclusion, right now, is that THE PERSON tested IS NOT connected to the main group.
3. Until more individuals within each branch are tested, we really don't know WHAT the actual DNA representation of EACH BRANCH is. It is remotely possible that this present first person tested is not even a member of their assumed branch!
In other words, until we have a "matching CLUSTER of test results from EACH branch"
(Similar to what exists for the main 'William' branch), it can not be safely or conclusively stated that
the "single-test from each branch" is the true representation of that branch.
One of the items surfacing from DNA tests is that about 5% or so of the general population does not have the true-biological-father as the assumed-father!
What a fact for Father's Day!
Anyway, my point is, until we can gather more tests in each branch, we can not be sure that these unattached branches are truly NOT connected.
So, to paraphrase Yogi, It ain’t over ‘til all the results are in. Another reason we encourage all males to participate in the DNA testing program.
Publications
The Bunnell/Bonnell Family in America, 2nd edition, can now be ordered! Attached is the information and order form for William Austin’s second book. If you are interested I highly recommend that you order quickly as they don’t print a large number of these family genealogy books. I’ve ordered ours.

William Austin Comments
Bill Austin wrote:
On page 29 of the May Newsletter are several articles sent in by Carol Brotzman. Almost all of them were clipped from the Meshoppen Enterprise, published in Meshoppen, PA, from 1897 to 1943. I have a collection of about half of all issues published heavily weighted to the earlier issues. The article on the death of Michael J. Bowes is particularly interesting. It was published in the issue of Thursday, March 12, 1908. Apparently this was his first death. On Thursday, 5 December 1907, their marriage was noticed, as follows:
"Miss Sue Bunnell of Meshoppen, and Michael J. Bowes of Philadelphia, were married Thanksgiving morning by Father Cocklin. The bride was attended by Miss Anna Bowes, sister of the groom and Edward Curey as best man. Miss Bunnell wore an Empire lace robe over taffeta and carried a prayer book and white roses. Miss Bowes was dress in pink silk lace. After the ceremony a breakfast was served at the home of the groom which was decked with festoons of green vines, chrysanthemums and pink roses. After a Southern trip the couple will reside at Philadelphia."
What is interesting about this is that in the next few years visits made by Sue and her husband Michael Bowes to the family in Meshoppen. I don't recall the date, but when Michael died the second time, he was buried in Overfield Cemetery in Meshoppen. I have seen his gravestone. I suspect there was probably a big todo about her marriage to a Catholic, and the first obit was wishful thinking on the part of some of her staunchly Methodist relatives.
Regards, Bill
[Ed. Note: I found the Overton Cemetery online and it shows Michael's death as 1949. No month or day is given. This is a good example of how even death notices in the newspaper can be misleading. I have been unable to locate the couple in the 1910, 1920 and 1930 census.]
Post Script
We do apologize for running late this issue. Summer activities seem to just eat up our time. Additionally we’re in the middle of restoring a 1952 MGTD and sometimes we have to work on it in spurts when parts are available or to prepare the car for the next shipment of parts coming in. For those with internet capability who are interested, you can see our project progress by going to MGTD/. Our final excuse is that we spent a week in London and are still recovering.
